- the invention relates to pneumatic tires for motor vehicles as well as rubber compositions usable for the manufacture of such tires.
- the noise emitted outside the vehicle are relevant the various interactions between the tire and the road surface, the tire and the air, which will cause an inconvenience to the residents of the vehicle when the latter rolls on a roadway.
- noise there are also in this case several sources of noise such as the so-called “indentation” noise due to the impact of roughness of the road in the contact area, the noise called “friction” essentially generated in the output of the 'contact area, the noise' says of sculpture 'due to the arrangement of the elements of sculpture and to the resonance in the various furrows.
- the frequency range concerned here typically corresponds to a range of about 300 to 3000 Hz.
- the so-called “road noise” refers rather to the perceived overall level in the vehicle and in a frequency range up to 2000 Hz.
- the cavity noise refers to the annoyance due to the resonance of the inflating cavity of the tire, this dominant noise in a specific frequency range of about 190 to 230 Hz.
- expansion agents such as, for example, nitro, sulphonyl or azo compounds
- nitro, sulphonyl or azo compounds are capable of liberating, during a thermal activation, for example during the vulcanization of the tire, a large amount of gas, in particular nitrogen. and thus lead to the formation of bubbles within a sufficiently soft material such as a rubber composition comprising such expanders.

- These pneumatic tires 1 comprise an upper zone 2 reinforced by a crown reinforcement or belt 6, two sidewalls 3 and two inextensible beads 4, each of these beads 4 being reinforced with a rod 5.
- the crown zone 2 delimited laterally by two shoulders ( 2a, 2b) is surmounted by a tread (not shown in this schematic figure, for simplification), the belt 6 being for example constituted by at least two superposed crossed plies reinforced by metal cables.
- a carcass reinforcement 7 is wound around the two rods 5 in each bead 4, the upturn 8 of this armature 7 being for example arranged to the outside of the tires which are here shown mounted on their rim 9.
- the carcass reinforcement 7 is in known manner constituted of at least one sheet reinforced by so-called "radial” cables, for example textile or metal, that is to say that these cables are arranged substantially parallel to each other and s' extend from one bead to the other so as to form an angle of between 80 ° and 90 ° with the median circumferential plane (plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tire which is situated halfway between the two beads 4 and goes through the middle of the crown frame 6).
- radial cables for example textile or metal
- These pneumatic tires 1 also comprise, in a well known manner, an inner liner layer 10 (commonly called “inner liner” or “inner liner”) which defines the radially inner face of the tire, in contact with the inflation cavity 11
- This airtight layer 10 allows the swelling and pressurization of the bandage 1; its sealing properties enable it to guarantee a relatively low rate of pressure loss, making it possible to keep the swollen tire in a normal operating state for a sufficient duration, normally of several weeks or several months.
- These pneumatic tires according to the invention are characterized in that their inner wall 10 is at least partly covered, on the side of the cavity 11, with a rubber layer 12 (expandable when the tire is in the green state). expanded when baked) able to partially absorb the cavity noise when its structure is expanded (ie, after baking or vulcanization of the tire).
- said inner wall (10) has on its radially inner face a heat-expandable rubber layer (12) which extends substantially over the entire inner wall of the tire, extending from one flank to the other, substantially to the level of the rim hook when the tire 1 is in the mounted position, as illustrated for example in Figures 3 and 4.
- the layer 12 could however cover only, still on its radially inner face, only a part of the layer (10) airtight, for example only the crown area of the tire or s extend at least from the crown zone to the shoulders (as illustrated for example in FIGS. 1 and 2) or even up to the flank (equator) of said bandage.
- the layer 10 (for example of thickness equal to about 1.0 mm) is for example based on butyl rubber, it has a usual formulation for inner liner.
- the rubber layer 12 consists of an elastomer composition as previously described based on at least one elastomer (such as a butyl rubber, natural rubber used or not in combination with a synthetic elastomer such as SBR or BR), a filler such as carbon black or silica, an expanding agent such as azodicarbonamide and a hot melt compound such as urea.
- elastomer such as a butyl rubber, natural rubber used or not in combination with a synthetic elastomer such as SBR or BR
- a filler such as carbon black or silica
- an expanding agent such as azodicarbonamide
- a hot melt compound such as urea.
- this layer 12 is for example 1 to 3 mm in the green state (before vulcanization) and 4 to 12 mm in the cooked state (expanded).
- This layer 12, once expanded, placed between the sealing layer 10 and the cavity 11 of the tire, makes it possible to reduce Substantial, as the following examples demonstrate, the rolling noise perceived within the vehicle.
- thermo-expandable elastomeric composition can be applied in a conventional manner at the desired location.
- An advantageous manufacturing variant for those skilled in the tire industry, will for example consist, in a first step, in laying the thermoexpandable elastomer composition flat on a manufacturing drum in the form of a layer ( or “skim") of suitable thickness, before covering the latter with the airtight layer (“innerliner”) then the rest of the structure of the tire, according to manufacturing techniques well known to the man of the job.
- compositions (denoted C-1 and C-2) were prepared whose formulation is given in Table 1 (rate of the different products expressed in phr).
- the composition C-1 is the control composition, it comprises the blowing agent but is devoid of the hot-melt compound.
- composition C-2 is in accordance with the invention, it comprises both the blowing agent and the hot-melt compound.
- the reinforcing filler carbon black
- the elastomer were successively introduced into an internal mixer, the initial vessel temperature of which was approximately 60 ° C. diene (halogenated butyl rubber), the hot-melt compound (urea) for the composition C-2, and the various other ingredients with the exception of the vulcanization system and the blowing agent; the mixer was thus filled to about 70% (% by volume).
- Thermomechanical work was then carried out in a step of about 2 to 4 minutes, until a maximum "falling" temperature of 140 ° C. was reached.
- the mixture thus obtained was then cooled to a temperature of less than 100 ° C., the cooled mixture re-introduced into the same internal mixer (initial temperature 60 ° C.), and then the expansion agent (diazo compound) was incorporated into said mixture (mixer filled to about 70% by volume).
- a second thermomechanical work was then carried out in a step of about 2 to 4 minutes, until a maximum temperature of fall of less than 100 ° C. was reached.
- the two compositions thus obtained were then calendered in the form of a rubber band (12) of thickness equal to about 2 mm, which was then incorporated, as indicated previously, into a passenger car tire (dimensions 225/55 RI 7) as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the thickness of the foam rubber layer (expanded) was about 8 mm (tire P1) and about 6 mm (tire P-2) respectively.
- Table 2 shows the densities of the rubber layer before and after baking of the tire, as well as the volume expansion rate and the average size of the bubbles formed after baking.
- the densities were measured in the usual manner by immersion in water, the volume expansion rate was calculated as indicated above, the average size (average number) of the bubbles was measured by SEM (magnification 200) on cross sections made on the foam rubber layers.
- SEM magnification 200
- the tire P1 (not in accordance with the invention) and the same control tire P-0, in a frequency range of 190 to 230 Hz ("cavity noise"), on the one hand, from 0 to 2 000 Hz ("road noise”) on the other hand.
- acoustic energy (dB (A)) which corresponds to the integration of the sound pressure as a function of the frequency over the frequency domain considered, a negative value indicating a reduction of the noise compared to the reference.
- the control bandage P-0 is identical to the bandages Pl and P-2 except that it does not contain a layer of foam rubber inside its cavity; it is used as a reference bandage in this test.
- This second test confirms the beneficial effect of the invention when another rubber formulation, here based on NR and SBR elastomers, is used to form the matrix of the foam rubber layer.
- a rubber composition (denoted C-3) was prepared as indicated previously for test 1. Its formulation is given in table 4 (rate of products in phr): this composition C-3 according to the invention comprises both an expansion agent and a hot-melt compound.
- composition C-3 was then calendered in the form of two rubber layers (12) of different thicknesses (1.5 mm and 2.0 mm in the green state) which were then incorporated, as indicated previously, two tires (respectively noted P-3 and P-4) for passenger vehicle (dimensions 225/55 RI 7), both in accordance with the invention, and as shown schematically in Figure 1.
- the combined use of the blowing agent and the hot-melt compound makes it possible to very greatly reduce the expansion ratio and therefore the thickness of the coating layer.
- final foamed foam rubber i.e., once vulcanized tire
- With a constant layer thickness it is possible to significantly increase the sound absorption capacity of this layer of foam rubber.
